Hello everyone. This is Adnoh( aka new to board). I had voted no. I would have voted yes if the question was: should honda make the ER with reverse. At this time I doubt Honda will do nothing of the sort producing two models that is. For Me If I want FI, electric start and reverse I would buy a 700xx untill the time Honda step up and produces two models. I'm a Honda guy thu and thu so I'll wait. I do agree that the suspenion should be reworked from top to bottom. As it is now I still feel it's the best bang for the buck. Who else provides a HRC type kit that can be added for greater preformance avalible to the general public that is backed by MFG. With a inexpensive upgrade to the exhisting shock the 450 can be dialed in for better handling. This of course if not used for a racing application. Just my take on it

I voted yes on having reverse also. my 2008 250ex has reverse and i love having it. cause i only trail ride on my 250ex and I have to back up from time to time and it would be a huge pain to have to get off the quad and either push it back or try to lift one end around. so i say yes the trx 450r should have reverse I know if it did i would buy the 450r over the 700xx.
